The Adams Room
Guest Rooms/Rates Golding Room - $145
Edmund Golding, the second owner of The Fitch House, would have appreciated the room given his name. The room features a Queen canopy bed, working fireplace and Currier & Ives prints on the wall; and it would be comparable to the décor of the room when he, a wealthy silk manufacturer, lived there. 20th century improvements include TV, A/C, a dressing room, a large private bath with shower and three closets!Fitch Room - $125
The architect, Edwin Fitch, and his wife lived in this room from 1836 to 1848. The room, now with Queen fourposter bed, TV, A/C, and private bath with shower, is one of the sunniest rooms in the B and B. It overlooks the garden and is decorated with Winslow Homer prints.Adams Room - $125
The Adams Room is named after Edwin Fitch’s wife, Alice Adams, who was the inspiration for the building of the house in 1836.
